I need 2 new rear tires now, whats the biggest I can go on this rim as in width and height??
the front is non negotiable since the clearance is only 1/2" from the fender
but the rear has about a 1 1/2" gap between the tire and the top of the outside fender

If you want it to look right, and everyone will have their own different opinion on this, but I wouldn't go any larger than 285-40-17 on a 17x9 wheel.

Man, my car SAT that low with a tunnel mounted UMI TA. It never scraped, but one day it met a raised man hole from an unfinished road. It ripped the brace mounts out of the floor and mangled the brace itself. I limped the car back home, did 8 hrs of repair to get the floor back together and replaced the TA with a trans mounted adjustable unit... since the mounting spots in the floor were gone.
Maybe my fault for installing a relocated TA on a DD...
